Story

This was a project that I created for a class in Human Computer Interaction - Computer Vision at the HPI.

The task was to create an autonomous moving vehicle that finds the center of a projected light source, built exclusively from laser-cut parts and some given electronics.

sketches for the last iteration

I decided to create a self balancing robot because it's more agile and for the extra challenge that comes with it. It took a lot of iterations before I had a working prototype, especially because of gears and weight optimisations.
